Stencel (with some waterproof paint) seems to be the better option....

Where do I get the stencil made? Where do I get the paint?

Thanks!

Hi Shep,

seeing as you are from my home town I thought that I would mention to be most careful of Aetone for several reasons.
It will breakdown Gel, it will possibly damage Tubes I wouldnt leave it anywhere near tubes as it may breakdown the Tube suface.
It is probably a carcenogen and seems to have a flash point of 24 deg C.
So, I would not use at all only to prepare as cleaning agent prior to applying gel coat....

WIth regard to signage, you can sut out stencel of sign in contrast material colour and make up on seperate piece of 1ft X4-6 inches and attach that to the boat using a proper adhesive..

I think someone already mentioned this but I would go further and patch it on piece and then stick piece to boat.

You can get name cut by Gerber Stencel and attach to Gel Coat under Bow above waterline as in most boats that do not have Tube....

Hi Cookee, thank you for correction, I thought it made Resin soft. I recall from my younger days about "Ladies Nail Cleaner" being used to clean Crash Helmets was a NO No. Meanwhile, I am sure that it is bad for the Tubes!!!! ANy comments,

Hi Cookee, here is the shake down...
You are probably right but I seem to recall it being used to clean surface
and it thinning Resin for SLow set.

ANyway its pretty dangerous stuff with a Flashpoint of 24Deg C. It is watered down for teh Ladies Cuticles

Acetone is often the primary (or only) component in nail polish remover. Acetonitrile, another organic solvent, is sometimes used as well. Acetone is also used as a superglue remover. It can be used for thinning and cleaning fiberglass resins and epoxies. It is a strong solvent for most plastics and synthetic fibres.

Acetone can also dissolve many plastics, including those used in consumer-targeted Nalgene bottles. Acetone is also used as a drying agent, due to the readiness with which it binds to water, and its volatility.
